Re: el34 tubes baed integraded amp fot merlin tsm/m or mx

Posted by Rich Brkich on December 8, 2005 at 07:32:01:
If you are really on a tight budget, the Prima Luna Prologue integrated amp uses EL34s and is a very nice peice for a $1,100 integrated amp. Idealy the Ars Sonum Filarmonia is a great match and a awesome performer, but is unfortunately out of your price range at $3,500.
A great product to consider is the Manley Stingray Integrated amp... built in triode/ultralinear switching, expansive soundstage, wonderfull dynamics... but it uses the EL34s smaller brother, the El84. It does offer the best abng for the buck here at right around the $2,000 price mark.

Happy Listening,
